| 摘要 | Our ancestors of pre-history lived in an animal harmony with nature, free of the existential suffering we Homo Sapiens experience. But evolutionary changes to our bodies and brains left us with both an increased capacity for creative productivity and the discontent that comes with disconnection from our environment. It is this duality of our evolution that sets us apart from all other species and inspires our most profound intellectual and spiritual yearning. This book offers a provocative perspective on our existential suffering from the metaphorical viewpoints of Darwin and Buddha, synthesizing their two approaches - science and meditation, both rooted in the natural world - into a powerful union. In writing this book, Dr Fisher has touched upon a scientific taboo and shattered previous assumptions about the incompatability of these two very different ways of knowing. His daring, grounded in years of solid research and also sincere practice, has cleared the path to an inspired, new Middle Way for us humans to be at greater peace with ourselves and our world. "Fisher provides a profound and provocative reflection on evolution, science, and Buddhist practice. He offers a rigorous and honest analysis, bringing together scientific, cultural, and anthropological knowledge in a deep understanding of our biological and spiritual heritage." Jack Kornfield. "An inspired teacher, with a brilliant mind that moves freely across disciplines, Fisher is uniquely qualified to address intellectual issues that linger on the frontier between human consciousness and the wild. He brings his experiences together in a profoundly original book." Wade Davis, author and explorer, National Geographic Society. |
